run_mcpt_pipeline

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

Annotations already signal mutability, open-world interaction, idempotency, and non-destructiveness; the description adds concrete behavioral detail by naming side-effectful steps (generate marketplace JSON, post summary to #quant-lab) and the backing script. It doesn't spell out permission needs, but the schema covers owner_token and the annotations carry the safety profile.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

Three compact sentences front-load the purpose, then use a scannable step list, then add a useful implementation pointer. Every sentence earns its place with no redundancy.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

The description captures the pipeline shape and the schema handles the safety-critical dry_run/owner_token parameters. It is incomplete around return/result expectations (no output schema), the 'sync' and 'all' step values, the no_desktop flag, and how this differs from run_marketplace_autopilot.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

Schema documents dry_run and owner_token but not step or no_desktop; the description compensates for step by explaining decay, graduate, audit, listing, and slack, though it omits 'sync' and 'all'. no_desktop receives no semantic help from either source, leaving a real gap.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

States a specific verb ('Run') and resource ('MCPT marketplace autopilot pipeline') and enumerates concrete pipeline stages. It does not expand the MCPT abbreviation or distinguish itself from the similarly named sibling run_marketplace_autopilot, so it falls short of a 5.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The step list gives useful operational context and implies this is the tool for running the full/staged MCPT pipeline. However, it never explicitly says when to choose this over run_marketplace_autopilot or other marketplace tools, and it names no exclusions.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
